  • >> Jon: THANK YOU.

  • LET'S GO BACK TO ANDY MCCARTHY

  • FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, FORMER

  • FEDERAL PROSECUTOR.

  • JAMES COMEY AT LEAST PRIOR TO

  • HIS FIRING ALWAYS ENJOYED A

  • REPUTATION OF SOMETHING OF A

  • BOY SCOUT IN THE F.B.I.

  • A GUY WHO WAS ALWAYS UPHOLDING

  • THE LAW.

  • THIS REPORT WOULD SEEM TO

  • SUGGEST OTHERWISE.

  • >> WELL, CERTAINLY HE BECAME A

  • LAW UNTO HIMSELF.

  • HE THINKS THAT HE HAD A GOOD

  • REASON FOR IT.

  • BUT HERE IS SOMETHING, JON,

  • I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO

  • UNDERSTAND.

  • HE WAS JIM COMEY.

  • HE HAD A VERY BIG PUBLIC

  • PROFILE.

  • HE WAS NO LONGER F.B.I.

  • DIRECTOR ONCE HE WAS REMOVED BY

  • PRESIDENT TRUMP.

  • WHY LEAK GOVERNMENT RECORDS?

  • YOU ARE JIM COMEY, YOU COULD GO

  • OUT TO THE SIDEWALK AND CONVENE

  • A PRESS CONFERENCE AND HE COULD

  • HAVE SAID WHATEVER HE WANTED TO

  • SAY IN TERMS OF HOW BADLY HE

  • THOUGHT A SPECIAL COUNSEL WAS

  • NEEDED AND WHY.

  • IT HAS NEVER BEEN CLEAR TO ME,

  • AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR A

  • RATIONALE EVEN IF YOU ACCEPTED

  • EVERYTHING HE IS SAYING ABOUT

  • THAT HE DIDN'T THINK THE

  • JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WAS

  • TRUSTWORTHY AND NOBODY WHO HAS

  • WORKED AT THE JUSTICE

  • DEPARTMENT GETS TO MAKE THAT

  • CALL.

  • SO IT IS VERY PRESUMPTUOUS ON

  • HIS PART TO DO THAT.

  • WHAT I CONTINUE TO BE MYSTIFIED

  • BY IS WHY DO IT THIS WAY?

  • WHY LEAK INTERNAL GOVERNMENT

  • INFORMATION REGARDLESS OF

  • WHETHER IT WAS CLASSIFIED OR

  • NOT?

  • YOU DON'T GET TO DO THAT.

  • IT IS NOT YOUR INFORMATION TO

  • DO OR TO LEAK.

  • HE WAS A PRIVATE CITIZEN AT

  • THAT POINT.

  • IF HE THOUGHT THAT THE

  • GOVERNMENT SHOULD APPOINT A

  • SPECIAL COUNSEL, HE COULD

  • EASILY HAVE JUST CONVENED A

  • PRESS CONFERENCE AND SAID SO

  • AND IT WOULD HAVE HAD LOT OF

  • IMPACT.

  • >> THE I.G. REPORT MAKES THAT

  • POINT THERE WERE OTHER AVENUES

  • AVAILABLE TO HIM BESIDES TAKING

  • THESE F.B.I. MEMOS, GIVING THEM

  • TO HIS FRIEND THE COLUMBIA

>> Jon: THANK YOU.
